Markets to visit Sohar

Sohar's fish market is one of the largest in the country and is quite large. It is held on the waterfront in a large modern white building with characteristic dhow-like architecture. Inside, in good order, are the tiled stalls covered with the many fish that the Gulf of Oman sacrifices every day to the nets of local fishermen. Even if one has nothing to buy, the place is worth seeing for its scenes of life and trade, especially as the place is much less touristy than the Fish Market of Mutrah.
